hello welcome to the r.t.e. sports show half an hour of top action from russia and around the globe with me kate partridge and here's what's coming up. the road to rio fabio capello is a happy coach as russia draw belgium algeria and south korea in their group for next summer's world cup finals. plus a big battle scarred defeated by it says scott adams the moscow traffic while champions a number overcome even for act passed in the k h l. and in the cage we have a double helping of heaven may with a masterclass controversy over those and frank mir and the latest action from moscow's fight night. but first to world cup football and russia coach fabio capello was pleased with his side's opponents and much better news after russia avoided the big guns at the draw for the twenty fourteen finals in

brazil which reports were driven exam as world cup finals couldn't have got much better of russian fabio capello's side of the lines of defending champions spain free time winners germany and brazil they were drawn in the last group age and with belgium signs career. and we play their matches in a much cooler climate of the south. we're happy about the draw we're also happy about the fact that we're not playing in the northern part of the country that's very important to us. russia were drawn in the same group as belgium the last time they qualified for the world company two thousand and two one but occasionally lost forty two before crashing out at the group stage for midfielder alexander must avoid played in the tournament for the russians and says despite drawing be informed belgians their opponents could have been much tougher language there's a lot of people say belgium are really top side but then again if you ask the

majority of people who they want in a group belgium or argentina belgium or germany belgium or spain everyone would say belgium and this sums it all up because. russia have never played algeria to face time career in a friendly only in november which they won two one things to goals from field a small oven to be true to our serve that result will have little bearing when the world cup gets underway with capello's men opening against a career ends in cuiaba on june seventeenth and most of all expects russians to be in with a chance of reaching the knockout stages view i think russia and belgium of the two favorites to qualify from the group but we shouldn't forget about the south koreans who we recently beat in a friendly or is there a fast and very mobile side however if everything goes to plan and i think we should be able to make it out of the group capello is a ready said the squad will be based in the city of campion us which is around one

hundred kilometers north west of sao paulo the city is within easy reach of russia's free playing venue's rio de janeiro cuiaba on critics and has great training facilities while it's also relatively quiet with a relaxed atmosphere so with a favorable draw or uncomfortable conditions russia's first world cup finals in twelve years could just see the country make an impact on the global stage richard wolffe lead r.t. moscow. and while fabio capello was happy with russia let's look at the rest of the draw and where the first group matches where we play. host brazil are in group a and open against croatia in sao paolo on june the twelfth with mexico taking on cameroon in it all the next day while in group b. the defending champion spain face a rematch of last year's final against the netherlands in salvador before chile play australia in. group c.

is arguably the most open with colombia going up against greece in belo horizonte and ivory coast a facing japan in receive any late kick off and in the tricky group day a year ago i made costa rica in forth on june the fourteenth before england face a tough battle against four time winners italy in the northern amazon city of one us i think with italy coming into that group we've really got to number one series with you in italy and then in costa rica we see maybe that we don't know quads who are going claims returns with a very good so it's going to be a tough group but it's up to us to make itself prove as well meanwhile in group b. on june the fifteenth switzerland meet ecuador in the capital before nine hundred ninety eight when his friends open against honduras importer legrange aiming to prove a point on to their disappointing group stage exit at the twenty ten torment. but i . said good you know so we go to this world cup with

a lot of ambition obviously the first objective for us is to get out of the group and qualify for the last sixteen some other countries start the tournament with the objective to win but for us our objective is to qualify for the last sixteen. and in group f. bosnia-herzegovina make their world cup debut and hope to make america at the magic an hour in rio against little messes argentina then the following day iran face nigeria included tiba and finally group g. cs go on a plane get intense mins usa in natal after yuckier loves much fun sig germany face a testing opener against cristiana are now there and portugal in the hot northern temperatures of salvador. and my opinion is that the group is difficult to know in eight years ago or twelve years ago wood was easy. and now all the teams on this world cup has a good quality day all the teams are growing growing growing and yeah and we

have a special situation we are playing in morse in this i was in you know in the north as temperatures are very warm and such a degree such a five degrees it's very wet so special for all the teams them. and let's stay with german football after one of us legal leaders by in munich triumph seven nil it vertebrae meant to extend their record unbeaten league run to forty games by opened after twenty one minutes when a sunny looking me up put through his own net in strikes from daniel and the first of two efforts from inform frank rebury made it three nil by half time. added a fourth on the hour thomas mallon soon put his name on the scoresheet and then in the last ten minutes rebury wrapped up his brace and mario gets up made it seven mil to complete coach but guardiola thirteenth going to sleep to win from fifteen games in charge as brian stay four points clear. while by laver

queues and tighten their grip on second place with a crunch one nil victory at third place first year dormant for now ten points of top spot sunk young men netted the winner after twenty minutes both sides had a man sent out in the last ten minutes but sammy who pre-assigned hung on to win. now moving on to ice hockey work a h l e discuss saw their six game winning run come to an end after being defeated not just by bitter rivals but also the moscow traffic heavy congestion on the capital's roads force the powerhouse some pieces were excited to abandon their luxury coach for the public metro and after the visitors had to go underground the hosts seize the initiative above it on the ice we drove through the first period alex a mother was all finished off some nice passing moves with a pinpoint rich shot one will. just as if the school because of his brilliance between the pipes denying all twenty eight shots for his third shutout of the

campaign and alexander the love rapped away to nothing when with an empty netter. with roker style mines on three single league leaders and it was a serious dance for us we'll move them. again during the playoffs on our way to the goring cup finals and we have to send the message that wear it to play against a problem that's about i haven't scored any goals for a while i don't have any fitness problems i just need to look for the reasons within myself that happen sometimes create little chances and fail to capitalize on them i just need to keep working and that's what we're doing now let's look at the first part of our m.m.a. doubleheader as a group of fans were given a masterclass here in moscow by two of the world's most successful heavyweights each with different styles and at different stages of their careers but plenty in common with robert funny and explains. june the twenty sixth two thousand.

that day the world of mixed martial arts was rocked to its core. widely considered to be the baddest. suffered his first legitimate defeat at the hands of brazil and jujitsu expert brazil were due and his historic triangle submission for me is now this moment the best fight in my life the best moment of my life i have achieved moments in my life is good more is one of my my daughter barr who want to beat fellow. frank mears most glorious moment was arguably on the second of february two thousand and eight. lawrie taste of victory in the sea hey wait championship for years before and then recovered from a motorbike accident on the way to second you see dido david. the much more heralded up and comer brock lesnar after being under glory conscious

near still forced the giant step in the first round eventual earning this submission of the year award i just clear my mind and. you know you have an objective to fight but i think sometimes when you're thinking thoughts you slow your brain down side to my brain as empty as possible so that i let it all the techniques and training that i have can flow properly and recently group of russian fans will preview to some of the best keeps from former two term mirrors as well as were doom who is now going along expected to use the title shot against the champ again last is next year. to have a good conditional he prevail resting all life. he traced out the one he like a kid he had a good game. he liked the game rest me. me yeah i like to i would just write. this is my game i mean of the he gets the fight to the

ground jitsu isenberg do is one of the best use of guys in the world i think he has an excellent chance. i personally don't see how he's in a good came down and i think campbell auspice is going to avoid going to the ground with him he's the better wrestler saul to keep the fight on his feet and he's the better stand a fighter thirty four year old near it's himself set to face a tough test next february the elimination make out with the right to stay in the enemy's elite competition see against keep boxing specialist alex do over again but if i could be your last fight here cecil the way i look at it is just one more time to perform you know if you go out there and you start putting something you know the fights are to happen regardless of what pressure i put on it so any kind of thoughts that i put upon that fight is just extra and all. internal pressure that i'm adding to something that doesn't exist i enjoy martial arts i enjoy being a fighter i enjoy the my job is to go in the gym and train. you know as long as i

continually pull a paycheck and i can keep my wife happy about the fact i'm gone all day i think continue to live the lifestyle so that's what. frank near and for greece they were doomed one as triumph for many ops and downs being in glory the other right at the pinnacle of his illustrious career bought henry add to their pages in the history move and i'm a. home and keep it going. r.t. . how much the end of part one but we'll be back with more top m.m.a. action don't go away. there's a media lead us so we need to be. part of the scene potions to cure the play your part of the musical. questions that no one is that skin with the guests that

deserve answers from it's all on politics only on our t.v. . so the lesson we teach to the world is that the best way to defend yourself is to get yourself a nuclear weapon and of course the biggest culprit of using nuclear weapons and producing nuclear weapons and weapons about struction is my birthday should the united states and i find it absolutely insane that we sit here and talk about iran suppose have nuclear weapons program where you know the united states is producing every kind of weapon under the sun is spending more than every other military on the planet come by and is involved in more war and more death and more suffering than every other nation combined and yet it's sitting there on a pedestal talking about other nations developing weapons of mass destruction. that we even allow them to do this the first nation that needs to disarm without question is the united states.

welcome back to the sports show and let's raise you with long mixed martial arts as three of russia's biggest up and comers triumphed at the latest might not showdown here in moscow but what about anya and how small the man you see is still a long way from worldwide fame but age thirty one he's easily mongerer russia's biggest enemy heavyweight hopefuls constantin iraq in just minutes before his six professional belts and probably the toughest test in his fledgling career. and here comes the rival the u.s.a.'s remote you isa could do the man who really been through battles in the world's best and i'm a promotions like bride strikeforce and dream. over the russian was quick to prove his device stating punching power you know his solid boxing background providing him with a first round knockout victory however even

a win like this has its flipside. he's got plenty of experience and i plan to gain something from him during the fight unfortunately it was a bit too quickly. to fight night showdown so another strike force and pride veteran one time over him who failed to make it through the first round against the russian up and comer. true three year old heavyweight me hail mom living the dutchman on the ground with hard liver shots. moving down to light weights with quite a similar outcome though there were grease of verses brazil's the silver flies so one more first round knockout win for the russian we proved his pro record level wins with just a single defeat. i always try to make the opponent play on my field and

my game i don't care what he's strong at do my job or move around look for counter charts but always ready for a tough dog fight. the fight night it was through the reach out and a success for the russian fires was on a similarly unstoppable right. i don't want to fight any of the russian forces that's for sure that doesn't motivate me i would like to test myself over see mix in the u.f.c. or ballots what i really like cain velasquez maybe i will face him one day that would be a great challenge for me. well the more you aim for the higher your likely to reach. r.t. moscow. now tributes from the sporting world have been pouring in finance and mandela the first black president of south africa who died last thursday at the age of ninety five the former premier one said that sport has the power to change the world and unite people in

a way little else does and mr mandela met many sports stars including the south africa rugby and football teams plus david beckham on the england side he was also a big supporter of south africa hosting the twenty ten football world cup as well as a big fan of n.b.a. force people. to spend so much. not only for south africa not only for half ago but the whole world. you know i remember as a kid. my parents he's the one person. you know when you hear his name everything stops. meanwhile all going to call their balls trying to one hundred seven point two eighty seven at home to two time reigning champions the miami heat both teams were missing superstars miami's dwyane wade was ill while chicago's derrick rose is out for the season after a surgery and in his absence carlos boozer led the bulls with twenty seven points and nine rebounds the heat tried to play catch up in the fourth quarter but with

four minutes ago they signed a three pointer contest out of reach. and in the euro league fenerbahce tighten their grip at the top of group a after coming from behind to win seventy eight seventy four it says girl must go this spectacular three pointer from me and it solved at the end of the third quarter but the army men fifty nine fifty six ahead but in the fourth the turkish giants replied in kind with big shots from linus closer and bowyer but danovitch to give the visitors victory and a seven to one record that's going to slip to third but both sides are already in the top sixteen. while also qualified lokomotiv cabana lost seventy five seventy three at maccabi tel aviv who joins their parents in the top sixteen mccabe lead sixty five fifty three at the beginning of the fourth quarter. responded scoring twenty points to the host to

over the next four minutes though the israeli side held on for victory both teams have a six and two record but not to be in our league group they haven't eaten luck much of twice. golf and zach johnson beat world number one tiger woods in a playoff to win the world challenge johnson signed for bird is in his last eight holes and then found the water at the eighteenth but responded in start by holding this shot from the drop zone and in a thrilling finale woods then hit the bunker at the last of the skate to make par around at the first extra hole woods landed in the sand again. missed his pop out to hunt jones then the victory. try to play great i mean you know called parts here couplets there are ones that i made you know he seem to miss so. you have to pick up your host i had a teacher early start today. got up to three and zach i don't know how old the last three irish are sitting on the whole it was just very impressive

what he did on sixteen seventeen eighteen and you know i got a. while as a golfer events in paris but we know one champion sebastian vettel and his red bull team receive their respective top drivers and constructor awards for the fourth consecutive season the twenty six year old german is now part of an illustrious group which has won four titles including one mile fun joe allen frost and michael schumacher and vettel admitted he was surprised at his team's ongoing improvement. just like the other years the team has proven that you know we're very very strong developing the improving the car throughout the season and towards the end i think we were all all all inside the team was surprised by the you know put by the performance we had the last couple races sometimes lapping you know half a second to a second faster than everyone else was a big surprise for us now let's return to winter sport and ice hockey where inform side act boss had been tipped to win the third guarin cup this season despite

losing at old closed in on my moscow budget on port fleet has more. at the start of any cage show campaign and bars are always one of the teams to account for the stone has won the first two editions of a good car and counting to paris and knowing in two thousand and ten and it based on the sports man city of concern which is also home to football side routine and host of the summer's university games the past two seasons have been a ton of transition for the whole club a successful head coaches in your tool a billionaire dean of left to lead the russian national team yet under violated the law of and bars and i'm confident they can return to form a glories it's been three years in zion boswell's one cage tells sharon karp however to try and invent dryads because on side have made big changes to their roster bring in a number of new players to their side go on the right bars legends aleksei models of and danny said leap of the between them accumulated five hundred ninety nine

points in six hundred twenty nine games brought in to replace them ascend distance stapleton briefly of dinar move means another exam to bottom east of who had an unhappy spell would be n.h.l. side the when he paid gentz as well as defenseman shaun hesco who played eight games with a phoenix coyotes and he's delighted to join such an ambitious club but it helps improve his game just really. being coughing yourself in and moving the park the players and where you know i think you just for me that be able to adapt to the fast pace of the game and the speed here is is that challenge for me so i think thank you one thing i need to learn on is moving the park quickly in my feet because all the time bombs whose main literally mean snow leopards in the local charts our language have one of the best defensive records in the league while the also school the finnish share of goals earlier in the campaign they won twelve out

of thirteen games recently their form is did. the same to. he's been with bank basons two thousand and nine but he's distrust the potential to go deep into the playoffs because if you're as they go we have strength in every line and every player has the ability to change the course of the game in almost everyone gets an equal amount of time on the ice it really helps to have such a balance roster everyone knows their role when their plane there is great motivation amongst us and we all know that we want to win this season's good guard i caught them on that despite leading the same conference for most of the campaign and part went into backlash of reigning champions to gnome and moscow just one win in the last three games it was going to be a test of a cause and size title ambitions a test unfortunately they would fail if they lost three to nothing in moscow and weren't shot forty one to twenty four and finished for johnny pence someone who

knows his team needs to find a way to end this slum if i knew the serve we would have obviously attended but sometimes there is tough times and we go to work for a coil be harder to get back in the wrong there's no need for the side from tatarstan to panic just the ends barring a disaster they're almost certain to make the playoffs and there are very few teams that would look forward to playing out pas as a target on unprecedented first get our income in six seasons richardson boldly darty moscow. and finally with russia's first winter paralympics just three months away a group of disabled children were given sports lessons by some of the country's paralympic champions while the right to sign she continued literally as a bunch of enthusiast tested the route from moscow micrographs explains all. since one thousand nine hundred two the united nations has sanctioned the third of december as the day on which the world tries to raise awareness of people living

with disabilities and organizations in russia have been using the day to gain further support for the cause that has been lacking in the past with events such as this one in moscow but here is the of see. i must say the interest to day has been big sam gets registered to come but many others have come at the last minute just out of curiosity which is great and with news that the paralympics is just around the corner it's now became tangible even for the kids with hope they go to tandems here will continue. the outreach from having an officially recognized day is intended to be global as over one billion of the world's seven billion population have some form of disability while it's the local communities that make it happen and together with moscow's department of physical culture the russian paralympic committee used the day to bring the country's champions together with its younger generations here if you feel this is what they did that is. it is great to be here

in this gym today i'm so pleased that so many kids have come their eyes just light up kids love sport i know they can all achieve their goals if they were really want to and now we have everything we need to be able to do sport in this country so no metal is out of reach for the young or old the children could take part in various master classes throughout the day from budget to table tennis to arm wrestling people it's always a truly humbling experience to be a model seventy six miles. just like this if they have. to sit down for a master class with an obvious chance remark because i realize that far stronger than i've ever had to. break. and while i was losing miserably at arm wrestling a bunch of athletes and supporters have decided to travel the one thousand four hundred kilometers journey from moscow to. not by plane but by road and you think it isn't but on this day that i thought it would be

a great idea to check out how some fans will be getting to switching but also because i've only flown to sochi before so i want to see the countryside and of course there is that all it's all ten cars that set out arrived at the black sea resort just over forty eight hours later with big smiles and lasting impressions get us moving the last time i did a road trip to sort she was in two thousand and eight and i must say a lot has changed for the better it's quite amazing what's been achieved in the run up to the olympics with the route now officially tested the tickets on sale and time ticking down fans will no doubt begin planning their own path to russia's first ever winter olympic and paralympic games market r.t. . and that's all the sport and. i was thinking somehow i had to come back because mom was waiting for me. i just

knew that everything would be fine for some reason we were so confident because we were going to get married officially after he came back how could he not come back because the mere thought of it never crossed her mind. when the militants decided to try and break through to her new guinea airport screening grenade. for the explosion blew him will run his back he will. lose it all and it was all over all. we know that our call rats on our commander won't leave us no matter how tough it gets we're team. there who are getting was a senior in his military trio. he knew that if he didn't smother that grenade with his body more of his comrades would die he gave his own life to save us friends.
